About

*** note to people looking for performers / writers of music: I get tons of response from people looking for beat makers or people you want to make instrumentals for you - NOT recording studios which is what Haywire is- please understand these are separate things entirely. Once you have your beat or instrumental secured please feel free to get in touch for vocal recording and mixing / mastering*** You will find most studios are hobby studios nowadays. This is all I have done my entire life, so you may want to consider hiring someone that does this professionally instead of just the random person who bought some gear. I don’t have the fanciest space, but my 500+ albums that I’ve done throughout the years all sound quite good. I enjoy my work the most when my clients are happy. Over 80% of my new clients are actually referrals from past clients so that makes a huge difference.

I had a great time with Rob very professional, easy to work with made the whole process painless I was able to tell him what I needed and He used his vast knowledge and helped me bring my songs to life. I recorded one song with him and then went back and recorded three more and will definitely be using him again in the near future

I have worked with Rob twice now and I plan to keep working with him as I have more material to record. He's kind, efficient, and he helped me make a recording that I am very proud of.
